ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed has again indicated that the ICC in unlikely to take any action against Zimbabwe as a result of the country's human rights record, despite having been asked to do so by the Governments of Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Speaking yesterday, Speed said:

"We do respect their views, but we don't make decisions on political grounds and neither are our decisions on playing cricket based on the human rights record of a country. I haven't had a chance to speak with our president but our stand on such matters is pretty clear. It's up to the teams to decide whether they honour the commitments. If the countries want to play it's fine and if they don't we don't interfere in the foreign policy of any government."
